Philips has received an award for its new HDTV because it’s said to be “efficient” with electricity. Yet what these industry driven awards fail to mention is that the new sets are less efficient than the ones they replace. The average power consumption of a 27″ cathode ray tube color television is still less than the celebrated “Eco TV” of Philips, which consumes 192 watts when calibrated, according to a CNET review. Far more impressive are the new displays coming to market that use less than half the power required by the Eco TV.
